W0, Sunday Night

[boxedcrook]

[Okay, but this explains why Kagome 2.0 didn't have a key. He plucked the single key they had out of the sand, leaving Katara to wander around until she found it.

He doesn't apologize.

But he's sitting on his haunches on his chest when she comes back in, his arms crossed and face sour. This whole One Person Dies, Teammate Dies thing is a little out of hand, he thinks.] Geez, I get out of babysitting one girl, and now I gotta babysit another.

Okay, the new rule is you have to stay in here for the rest of the game unless we're voting. That way you can't die.

What? No way! Why don't you stay inside the entire game?

[ there are a lot of things wrong with this plan? this hut is terrible and not the ideal place to spend two whole months trapped in. ]

[boxedcrook]

Pah! It's obvious, isn't it? Even without my powers or my sword, I'm still capable of staying alive.

It's for your own protection. Just stay in the hut until it's over.

[seaclipsed]

Are we even completely sure that these huts can't be broken into?

[ they do not look that sturdy??

also no. ]

[boxedcrook]

Well, it's better than wandering around on the island with everyone else. You think someone won't say, "Hey, come pick berries with me!" and then kill you when you go into the forest? Yeah right.

If you die, I die, and I'm not dying just because you do!

[seaclipsed]

People can't even do any killing until Friday for it to count! It doesn't make any sense for me to stay locked up the entire time, I just have to not go out during that specific timeframe! Which I was already planning on not doing!

[ katara can be reckless but unless she has a really good reason she ain't gonna wander around on her own on murder night??? ]

[boxedcrook]

Pah. [In a higher, dumber voice:] "People can't even do any killing until Friday"--are you stupid or what? People can kill whenever they damn well please if they really feel like it!

So if you're not gonna stay in, then you can't go anywhere without me.

[Which means he'll be :eyes: her from a bush when she's spending time holding Zuko's hand.]

[seaclipsed]

That's-- you're--

[ UGHHHHHH

she can tell that this is going to be an ongoing argument. ]

Anyway. You really should stop the whole, "I'm fine with killing" thing. If someone else does do it, the first people everyone is going to blame are the ones who don't have any problems with it. Do you want to be blamed for a murder you didn't commit?

[boxedcrook]

This again?

Plenty of people here are fine with killing. Didn't you read that stupid board? It's not my fault if everyone wants to be an idiot and accuse someone of murder without actually paying attention to anything.

[seaclipsed]

Even if it's not your fault, that still won't stop other people from voting for you! Especially since we have no idea what everyone is capable of. You can't yell at me to not do something that'll get myself killed, and then meanwhile you're not being careful either!

[ she wants to believe that no one would actually do it, but she realistically knows that with enough motivation, it'll probably be done. ]

[boxedcrook]

Well, they're morons, and they'll just end up dying sooner because they won't get the real murderers. [For some reason he thinks this is simple??? NEVERMIND DYING OR WHATEVER. IT'S FINE.] But I don't plan on just letting some idiots accuse me of killing someone I didn't.

Obviously I would just admit to it if I did.

[rip katara]

[seaclipsed]

[ and in that moment, katara realizes she is going to fucking DIE ]

You won't. Defending yourself is one thing, but don't go and do something terrible just because that man told you to.

[boxedcrook]

[Stubbornly, he crosses his arms.] Like I would do what some guy told me to do anyway. [No, he's too much of a moron.]

But a lot of others would, especially if there's a reward. And if there's "roles." What kind of game is this anyway?

If they wanted people to fight, why didn't they just let them? Being sneaky is so stupid.

[seaclipsed]

I think the point is to be sneaky... I'm guessing you didn't a role either then, since we're supposed to be on a team?

[ is that how roles work. how the fuck do they work. ]

[boxedcrook]

Well, it's stupid. [GOD, CAN'T PEOPLE JUST FIGHT TO THE DEATH WITH HONOR?] No, I don't got a role. But how do I know you aren't lying? Maybe one of us has a role, but the other doesn't?

Nah, that can't be right. Then what's the point of a team?

[seaclipsed]

Even if only one person in a team had a role, there wouldn't be any point in making them keep it a secret to each other, I think. You'd only be hurting yourself then. The whole point would be that you can only really trust your teammate since your lives are tied together.

[ and okay, inuyasha is annoying, but katara has handled the angry dumb boy type before. she wonders how the other groupings turned out. ]

[boxedcrook]

[Honestly, this sounds dumber and dumber to him. But at least it's a tiny bit familiar? People having roles are like demons having Jewel shards.]

So what are we supposed to do? Sit on the beach and sing songs while morons scramble around with roles they won't tell?

Kagome and the others aren't even here. So I don't know anyone. Do you know anyone else here?

[seaclipsed]

I know Zuko. He wouldn't kill anyone.

[ a montage of all the times zuko has tried to set her on fire plays in her head. ]

I don't know anything about who his partner is though.

[boxedcrook]

[Inuyasha seems sort of ????????]

Pah. I wouldn't be so sure if I were you. He may be in with his "partner."

[seaclipsed]

I know Zuko. He may have his faults [ his... many faults ] but he wouldn't kill someone like that. The only way I can see it even remotely happening is if he got attacked or something.

[ listen there is no way zuko would betray her (again). ]

[boxedcrook]

[katara, you fool]

Fine. It's not like I can really believe your word anyway. That just means he has an accomplice if he tells you his role, and you don't tell anyone else.

[seaclipsed]

Why would I lie about this when it would put both of us in danger? And that's if he even has a role, we don't know how many there are, do we?

[ that's an actual question. ]

[boxedcrook]

No. Those guys didn't say anything about how many. The rules didn't say how many either.

We should just ask everyone if they have a role. But no one would bother telling us anyway, so it's useless. He told someone he has ways of making people kill if we didn't.

Sleazy bastard.

[seaclipsed]

If no one decides to do it though, does he choose someone to force into doing it? How is that decision even made?

[ will hal come knocking on their door one night or something? ]

[boxedcrook]

[francy and anna in meta: ...probably]

I don't know. He doesn't seem like the type. He was telling everyone else he didn't want to get involved. That seems like a weird thing to say about a guy who runs the place, if you ask me.

Why make a stupid game like this and then not want to be involved? Can't be fairness. The whole game isn't fair.

[seaclipsed]

That one kid was saying that they think he's being forced to do this against his will like the rest of us, but... it doesn't seem like that's right either? His entire attitude is off for someone who supposedly regrets his actions.

[ hey why do neither of the people in this thread understand how computer programming works. ]
